Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and an out of the ordinary destination. It has a pleasant climate all year round with a characteristic southern Italian hospitality and cuisine. It’s more than just an island… Europe, Africa and Asia are rolled into one here in one of the world’s first multicultural societies. It’s a unique place full of art and archaeology, history and folklore and breathtaking scenery. Sicily has it all: the shouting street vendors, the best ice cream in the world, the obsession with anything that has to do with food and the genuine and warm hearted Italian hospitality. There are unique natural attractions like Etna Volcano, the Aeolian Islands and a rich cultural environment formed by Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Arab influences. The island has top-end resorts and venues and 4 international airports: Catania, Palermo and Trapani .

We have a skilled, professional and international team providing the highest level of service and reliability. To create the best suitable program we focus on individual needs and business culture of our clients for tailor made solutions. The programs can be corporate, sportive, team building, cultural, top-end luxury, off the beaten track, to impress and be impressed, depending on your priorities.
